"Oh?" Lord Jing had been observing Qiao Su when his master asked her words.

Qiao Su turned his head and thought about it, and instantly decided to tell the story without concealment. Although she was not advanced in criminal investigation in ancient times, she couldn't underestimate these officials, if she had something to hide, there would have been nothing to do, but when the time came, it would have aroused suspicion, and the officials could know that Yang Cheng was staring at her, so she naturally knew that Niu Ji instructed Yang Cheng to do it.

After all, Yang Cheng's death is indeed very irrelevant to her.

"Yang Cheng is this person, the folk girl just heard his name a few days ago." Qiao Su smiled slightly, "Presumably, the adults also know very well that the Minnu and Xianggong have not been in Yuzhou for a long time. We came from a small place, and because my father and mother were gone, we thought about using our family savings to come and break in. After we arrived here, we took over the business of the Zhao family's tavern as a restaurant, and both the Zhao couple and the Lin Mansion can testify to this. ”

Master Jing and Master Jing listened patiently, and what Qiao Su said was indeed not different from the news they investigated.

Qiao Su then said: "When we first came to Yuzhou, we must have to taste the taste that the locals like in the restaurants here, and then somehow, we were misunderstood by Niu Ruoshui, the shopkeeper of Niu Ji, thinking that the folk girl wanted to steal the recipe of Niu Ji beef noodles, you know, the beef in Yuzhou City is scarce, and the price is also expensive, and it is really a misunderstanding." Adults can go on a business trip, the folk girl has been a restaurant for so long, and she often makes some fresh food on a whim, but this beef noodle, the folk girl has never touched it once, it's not that the folk girl can't do it, but the folk girl doesn't want to have a deeper misunderstanding with the cow. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Su sighed slightly, "The folk girl really doesn't know what the shopkeeper of Niu Ji thinks, what the folk girl does, she has to imitate." Everyone was doing business at the dock at noon, and she lost the source of customers because of her several mistakes, so she hated the people even more. Adults also know that the husband of the people's daughter works at the wharf, and many of the dock workers live in Songxiao Alley, and some people say with the minister that Niu Ji bought Yang Cheng and asked Yang Cheng to find a way to get the recipe for dim sum from the mouth of the girl's apprentice. There are a total of four apprentices of the people's daughter, the eldest apprentice Wang Baiyu, who is similar in age to the people's daughter, and the other three apprentices are all children of the Zhao family, and they are all still young. Because of this, now these three little apprentices are sent to the store by the Zhao couple in the morning, and then our couple will send them back at night, just because they are worried that this Yang Chenggou will jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

Qiao Su looked up at the thoughtful Lord Jing, she nodded sideways to the master, "The lord and the master should both know that after the folk girl has breakfast in the morning, she will go to the market to buy vegetables, and then go back to process the ingredients, go to the dock at noon to deliver lunch, and come back in the afternoon to make snacks or sweets, after all, the deed with Master Lin has been contracted, and the folk girl naturally has to prepare in advance." When the folk girls are in the store, they are all busy in the kitchen and rarely take the initiative to sell snacks, so the folk girls are basically ...... Didn't see a few diners. As for why the folk girl said that she had an impression of Yang Cheng, it was because yesterday afternoon when the folk girl came back from the dock, the little apprentice said to the folk girl that there was such a diner who was exploring the secret recipe, so the two compared, and the folk girl felt that this person should be Yang Cheng! ”

Qiao Su smiled, "You know, the secret recipe is the foundation of life, where do people usually ask for the secret recipe of food?" The folk girl thought that even if the adult went to Niu Ji to ask the shopkeeper about the secret recipe of beef noodles, she might not be willing to answer! ”

"You really haven't seen Yang Cheng once?" Lord Jing asked with a frown.

Qiao Su shook her head slightly, "This folk girl really doesn't know, even if the folk girl may have seen him somewhere, as long as he doesn't report his name, the folk girl doesn't know it!" However, there is a portrait in the Minnu shop, which was painted by Xianggong yesterday, and it is eight points similar to Yang Cheng. ”

It's not that she didn't want to tell the story of meeting Yang Cheng at the bazaar, but she felt that if the prefect knew that they had a holiday with Yang Cheng a long time ago, she would definitely be even more suspicious of them. What's more, last time she secretly hid at the mouth of the alley, only to find Yang Cheng and Wen Xiaomo.

If the prefect asks too carefully, she really won't be able to answer.

"Draw it?" The master was a little surprised.

Qiao Su nodded, the reason why she said this matter was naturally because Qin Shen showed the portrait to Steward Lin yesterday. She said slowly: "Because several apprentices have seen Yang Cheng, each of them talked about Yang Cheng's characteristics, and Xiang Gong revised it a few times, and then drew the person." It is said that Yang Cheng once made trouble at the dock, so when Steward Lin came to pick up the food ordered by the Lin Mansion last night, Xianggong also took out the painting and gave it to Steward Lin. ”

She raised her head and smiled lightly at Lord Jing and Master, "After Steward Lin has seen it, it is determined that the diner who has done strange things outside the store several times is Yang Cheng." ”

"I see." Lord Jing stroked his beard and nodded, "Before, Mrs. Qin said that she would make beef noodles?" ”

Mrs. Qin? Qiao Su reacted for a moment before she realized that Master Jing was talking about her.

This feeling...... It's kind of a little wonderful.

Qiao Su nodded, "Yes, but the taste made by the folk girl is completely different from the taste of Niu Ji." ”

"I wonder if I can ask Mrs. Qin to do it?" Lord Jing looked at this Qiao Su and smiled, "Don't get me wrong, this official doesn't mean anything else, it's just because the old mother likes beef noodles, but she can't get used to the taste of Yuzhou." If you have something to do, that's it. ”

"No, there's nothing wrong with the people's daughter." Just kidding, it's rare to have a chance to brush up on her presence in front of Yuzhou City's parents, as long as she is not stupid, she can't let this opportunity slip away in vain!

Qiao Su stood up, "Is the adult finished asking?" ”

Listening to Qiao Su's straightforward question, Master Jing and Master Jing were all smiling, and before Qiao Su came to the yamen, they had already asked people to go to the dock to inquire, and passed the shopkeeper of Niu Ji over.

Since those scoundrels in the market can hear Qiao Su's name from Yang Cheng's mouth, they will naturally be able to hear the name of Niu Ruoshui, the shopkeeper of Niu Ji.

Now that what Qiao Su said is not different from the situation investigated by Lord Jing, Yang Cheng's death naturally has nothing to do with Qiao Su.

The master took the booklet back, turned around and put it on the table on the side, and said with a chuckle, "Mrs. Qin, please come with me." ”

Qiao Su stood up and saluted Lord Jing, "The maiden will retire first." ”

"Thank you." Lord Jing said politely.

Lord Jing didn't expect to be sent to Yuzhou City as the prefect, he is a filial son, so naturally he will take his mother with him wherever he takes office. And his mother has no other preferences, just likes beef noodles......
